Mother nature ALWAYS wins - period.

😢

I cannot remember where I was going or what was in the trailer behind me on those 2 trips I took a few months apart back 92 or 93. But do remember going over a bridge over the Mississippi River and on the far side of the river was a place where you could unload a barge. it had a back wall but the other sides were open. The next I crossed that same bridge, all you could see was the peak on the roof of that building and I said WTF I am a Canadian, and that was a shock to me like that water was 30 feet or more above where I had seen it the first time

I live on the Columbia River in the Portland/Vancouver area. And we get Plenty of Rain. Some have suggested punping it to California. Id rather Drown than give LA a single damn oz of water!! Ps KOBE RAPES

I happen to live close to the Old River Control Complex. The damage from the 73 flood can still be seen today, especially on the sonar in my boat. Massive scour holes and deep trenches dug by the raging waters. We use these features to catch some of the biggest catfish in the country!!!

No one thought to just move further from the river? Why the need to control it?

There " his story" then there's the truth they bomb the levee with 🧨🧨. What about the black people that was forced by gun point to build the levee back up. 🤔🤔🤔🤔 so much of this story missing.

How to kill a river in 100 years. Industrial Man is an arrogant, greedy, selfish fool using force and dead weight to impose his will. The indigenous humans never imposed their will but lived in harmony with Mother Nature....for thousands of years.

Well New Orleans was paid back 10 fold by Katrina

This is UNREAL. I have poured concrete all over the world, I am an East Texas boy. The only thing I have see on this SCALE is ......China.

Thank u

They needed millions of beavers, but they killed them all for money. Think of all the trees and soil they wasted building those tall levees for thousands of miles. Man ruins everything by trying to control natural occurrences. Even the Pannama Canal is failing these days. Inventions are good but men must constantly monitor their structures and work with nature....

great video

"THE DISPLACERS"

I'm a regular visitor and this is my main excersice place. There are so many trails not available but the horse trails do the job. I enjoy the peace and quiet and with no boats, it's definitely quiet. While they are at it, alot of trails and areas need to be redone or fixed up, it's an old place, it needs some TLC courtesy of our tax dollars 💵.

You couldn’t say all of that in one take? Typical government resources taking a whole day to make a quick statement (look at the shadows)

😄 "promo sm"

Nothing new whatsoever.

history repeats itself

I damn near died in the flood of 93. It was a crazy violent flood boy.

About where would a channel on the Mississippi River be made, below the Missouri River or below the Ohio River be? Then piped to the Colorado River Basin.

Mother Mississippi , mighty & majestic!! 🇺🇸💎

Before I saw the Mississippi the biggest river I ever saw was the Colorado I thought that was a big river lol...

Texas passed a law to move water anywhere in the state from anywhere in TX. Looking at all the lakes in East Texas. The water is all surface water and easily depleted. The largest "consumer" of surface water is evaporation. Looking at the Mississippi it would have to have more than one diversion point since floods in the north would not be helped by diverting from far south. It would have to be very, very huge. To prevent evaporative loss it would be better in a pipe or covered canal. What happens when the folks out west get used to the water and demand more & more when there have not been floods for a while? When the river gets low how are the barges going to cheaply transport goods? Here in Texas one factor is everybody out west has to have their lawns, golf courses and flower gardens. The Edwards aquifer has dropped well over a hundred feet as of over 20 years ago.. I saw a TX state employee watering grass at a rest stop in the middle of a desert. Now they want to drain our lakes. In fact one year water was pumped frome one lake to another that was dangerously low, too much water pumped to Dallas, the Nation's highest per Capita water user. I suggest looking at desalinization. Expensive but those who use need to pay not all of us who do not benefit from it. Flood control in the Mississippi basin? How about diverting to some huge lakes or water our plains for agriculture. There are droughts there too. California needs to stop mooching off the rest of America and start being good responsible, contributing citizens.

My grandfather used to work on the Jadwin. I remember going onboard once, that would have been in the early to mid 1960s.

Hello from Kansas 🇺🇸

What amazes me is many of the structures designed to originally control the river and for shipping were designed by a great architect who became president. Andrew Jackson. Too bad they tore his statues down. Some people did some things and we should be proud of that my America great always

Idiots that live in a flood plain cannot gain my sympathy

One thing we need to remember , The forces of nature are both very relentless and patient. It will keep working and sooner or later will find or cause a weakness.Then we will have a disaster and a huge mess to clean up. Lack of water in the west is a slow motion disaster in the making that I hope we can avoid.

I have a really creepy, inexplicable feeling, that Herbert Hoover made the flood that made him president... 🤔🤨🧐

The same thing happened 1973 the river was close 120 feet above flood ,stage all for the love of cotton,,

A system could be made to reroute the water to a huge dark lake waiting for extra water then it could be diverted to Lake Powell wand other systems to provide water for the west. The pumps required to lift the water to the higher altitude could be created by this excess water being routed through a hydroelectric system in the pipe lines to supply this water.

this hit the Ohio river too was talked about a lot when I was a kid.

The meanders, entrenched meanders, oxbow lakes, low and wide flood plain are all indicators of a very old river. It's been around for a long time. It will continue to be around even longer.

Hi! Thank you so much for this video! I'm a video editor from Ukraine and I'm looking for a job. I'll be so thankful to you if you can help me with this! I'm professional and responsible person. Thank you!

Very interesting

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?

While evacuated to Lafayette,, my Grandfather met my Grandmother.

Curious why a smaller scale mobile type unit isn't being used to shore up various ports around the east & west coast. A proven stabilizing tech that could be used to help facilitate ocean going trade & provide jobs in coastal cities.

River should be deepen,levee reinforced, but biggest solution must be done- huge irrigation and pumping scheme to divert water to west,to Colorado River

I can't imagine what that was like. I was in Hannibal in 73 when it flooded that alone was terrible the night before it flooded. I had noticed it had dropped about 8in I thought well it's going to go down through the next morning I woke up the roof 16ft Water on Main Street

Water should be diverted at Cairo and sent west to the colorado river.. I prefer over the red desert in wyoming. Also enough resivores should be built throughout the Midwest that huge rainstorm can be stoped from reaching the missippi. It's a crime so much water is wasted into the ocean

Narrator speaks so blithe. Farmers were responsible for levees. Continental US ....Mighty Mississippi.

Mat placement.
